When run JoplinPortable.exe --open-dev-tools --debug --log-level debug then nothing happens.
When added the file flags.txt to the JoplinProfile directory then it seems it does not have effect.

This is the expected and desired behavior. The left part is the editor and the right part is the preview panel.

Narrowed down the problem.
I was using TotalCommander with admin privileges. I was implicitly launching the JoplinPortable.exe as Administrator.
This problem does not reproduce when run with lowered privileges.
It can be closed.

Details
I had a similar problem with VS Code. It was resolved by specifying flags to disable "sandboxing".
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows#_unable-to-run-as-admin-when-applocker-is-enabled
I know that Joplin is similar to VS Code in terms of rendering content.
This problem relates to some "security sandboxing" features.
Found workaround: run in console like this: JoplinPortable.exe --no-sandbox
